The Rookie DVD – Widescreen
This item is limited to 5 per Guest.
Because of a promise to his high school baseball team, a Texas coach and former pitcher tries out for a major league team and makes the club, in this inspirational film, based on a true story.
High school coach Jim Morris thought his dream was over. He'd had his shot playing baseball, blew out his shoulder, and retired without ever reaching the big leagues. Then, in 1999, he made a bet with his perpetually losing team: If they won the district championship, Morris - who threw a 98 mph fastball - would try out for the majors. The team went from worst to first, and Jim was soon on the road to becoming the oldest rookie in the major leagues! Directed by John Lee Hancock.
